The anti-woke culture war BS is such a waste of time. Nobody cares! Who wants to argue about what a woman is, when you have a cost of living crisis, an energy crisis, a housing crisis, sky high inflation, tonnes of debt etc. Their views on ‘critical race theory’ aren’t going to move the needle on any of those issues.🙄
I definitely believe it’s possible to be ‘too rich’ to be prime minister nowadays. Unless you have a Trumpian-esque populism that can endear a billionaire to working people, It’s all too easy to label you as ‘out of touch’. I remember a very condescending phone call on the radio where Rishi tried to empathise with a severely struggling single mother raising 2 kids, he said “I know exactly what you’re going through”, laughable! Now, neither would Johnson, May, Cameron, or even Blair for that matter. However, coming from Sunak made it seem all the more absurd. I think his wealth even makes some conservative MPs uncomfortable, and that’s saying something.
If being out-of-touch was political suicide then every have Labour and Tory and Lib Dem and Green and SNP and every other politician for the past 20 freaking years wouldn't have won their elections and the country would probably be governed by Count Dankula at this point... which probably wouldn't even be a downgrade...
Yeah in the USA poor people thought the billionaire racist Trump could be a good president for them... That didn't work out... But Sunak won't be that bad.
On one hand, one could say though that Trump delivered a template for how to succeed in that situation. On the other, though, the UK electorate is historically far more sensitive to class issues than US voters, so I'd kind of agree here. I'm not sure if the Conservative party will see that risk the same way, though.
Not a junior Dr's pay dispute. It was about not being forced to work 50 hour weeks. They did point out that they were paid less per hour than a shelf stacker.

However, ultimately we'd be looking at austerity policies for the poor and middleclass whilst ignoring the tax avoidance of large businesses and the rich which could balance the books.

As a Yank, it's really odd hearing a conservative claiming that they support LGBTQ issues. A big portion of our conservative electorates think we're all groomers!
You can thank the teachers (among other people) on Tik Tok for that reputation. Some of the things they say, makes it really difficult to defend against such allegations. The music video from some LGBTQ+ people singing "we are coming for your kids", is not exactly something a conservative wants to hear. And it can be really difficult (for either side to be fair) to determine which elements of the opposition are extremists who are not representative and whom aren't.
Using the term "Libertarian" in the context of the US definition of the word is worrying. In Europe the term Libertarianism is almost uniformly described with Libertarian Socialism or Anarchism such as described as an example by George Orwell.
It depends on you priorities. IMO tughendat would be best for international relations as he was a remainer then pro withdrawal agreement and has French citizenship he is less likely to keep breaking international agreements. Mordaunt seems to be best on some social issues as she doesn’t actively hate trans people as the sun and daily mail like to point out. Rishi is the best choice economically (throwing up in my mouth saying that) as he is the only person not promising tax cuts from the magical money tree.

Honestly she might be a good choice in the general too to show labour that third way blairism doesn't work. I don't think she would be too terrible
As an American, my only question concerning the election is will Dev Patel play Rishi Sunak in The Crown?
Only if Sunak Wins that is. Only PMs appear on that show. No lowly cabinet ministers.
@@imperatorisservihominis4410 Not really they will likely end sooner than that.
Where is Lord Bucket Head when we need them?!
Hahaha, for some reason, TH-cam suggested this video today, Oct 20 2022. I started watching and it took a while to realize it's three months old!
This is rather like choosing which demon is going to run hell after Lucifer resigns.
God what a joke of a country we live in.
Labour might not know what they're doing but I still would prefer it over these liars and rats
Is Labour still infested with anti-semites, or was it just their previous leader?
Got news for you. Both are liars and rats!
They might convert Britain into a muslim country
At this rate everyone wants not the tories.
I’m torn between wanting a good candidate to win so we have an effective PM, and have a bad candidate who is more likely to lose to Labour
You should think of the country and vote Conservative. Labour will wreck the economy and rejoin the EU in all but name.
@@jamesberry5578 rejoin the EU? Sounds good to me
@@apollo6326 A loud fart probably sounds good to you.
Why would you want to join the EU, how did it benefit the UK?
Bet you don't get back.
@@jamesberry5578 i think scotland would like to rejoin
@@jesurenbnb Why do you think that?
My dad is saying that it will be Rishi Sunak, saying that he will not be around for long (for about a year), and when he goes they can pin the blame on him because he’s not white. I’m betting on penny Mordaunt myself.
Are you kidding me? My dad said the exact same thing yesterday! Said something like, the Conservatives will elect him to prove that they are not a 'racist' party, but he'll be there for a year or two, and when they're done, he'll get ousted and replaced with someone else.

There's a saying in my country:

Ha! What country is that?

Boris held on as long as he could but he just couldn't find that comb in #10.
as a avid watcher of Nebula you guys need to raise the audio for the videos posted on there, or maybe have the gain on your SM7B at 100.
At the rate we're going, the answer might end up being "Everyone in the thumbnail"
Who be the will prime minister. Thats what the thumbnail says, you can convince me otherwise
As long as it is Dr Who, I think we'll do well.
@@euansmith3699 That will depend upon their speech writer though. That last Dr was really let down.
I'd say Mordaunt will edge out Sunak in the final ballot. Of the more probable winners, Truss is likely Labour's favourite.

… oh wow you’re just a big old bag of personality flaws, huh?
Good luck overcoming whatever it is made you this way.
The next leader should be chosen by combat. The candidates should all be willing to enter an arena and battle to the death. The survivor gets to be prime minister. Either that or they should raise armies and fight War of the Roses style to determine who is in charge.
None of the candidates will get the keys to No 10 Downing Street, because it doesn't have a keyhole (at least not in the front door) [/pedantry]
Leave it to the Tories to have every single candidate involved in scandal.
I'll never forget what May said to naughtiest thing. "I ran through a field as a girl". lololol
Where do you keep finding these people? Standards have dropped for the PM's job.
Same in the U.S. No one worthy wants the job it's such a crap shoot. Should axe the position worldwide.
@@seanp8840 What could be an alternative? A smaller group who votes on issues (big enough to be representative of the people, but small enough to get decisions done within a matter of minutes, if need be)?

That's not how Badenoch is pronounced
Oven ready chaos
Perfect, just what I needed.
"Who be the will new Prime minister" 😂 great video though
What a Rogues Gallery
It's funny to see all the bad press around these candidates and think bo Jhonson controversies eclipsed them wildly it's like night and day.
My god, these choices are so awful that I find myself at the point where I would welcome Theresa May back with open arms. My condolences dear Brits
To me it doesn't matter who will be the next PM, we will still be stuck in the same Tory government
Only one candidate ruling out tax cuts leaves me feeling like Sunak might be the best of a bad bunch, very far from perfect but not so economically illiterate that now seems like a good time for 'trickle down' policies to finally work and not relying on 'culture war' nonsense.
@Notquiteconvinced More sympathetic press coverage? Not a great advert for a supposedly democratic system.
@@mrmr446 show me 1 book, 1 freaking book or paper, by a graduated economist that has ever proposed “trickle down economics” as a real theory. “Trickle Down Economics” is not thing, it’s a strawman, and I would recommend anyone who talks about “economic illiteracy” to know at least that much.
@@wanderingthewastes6159 I didn't claim it was a real economic theory that's why I used quotes, however I have heard tory politicians and their backers talk about it to justify their policies for decades.
I suddenly realize why BJ was not kicked out earlier - those are some bad choices. Maybe you can get May back lol 🇺🇸
At this rate May is indeed more compitent.
May for PM
May sucks, no thanks!
@@davidty2006 At this rate not only is May more competent, but Cameron is more ethical as well. Genuinely difficult to believe that a major party struggles so badly to assemble some decent candidates.
@@rjfaber1991 Because they're majorly shit.
*TLDR News UK* is a better name. Change it back.
All these proposed tax cuts...when will they have to explain how to pay for them?
Most helpful video on knowing the contenders, thank you
This is really sad if these are the best the Tories can muster. However anyone besides Truss - she's Johnson in drag.
I'm Canadian, and my pick is Rishi Sunak
I don't want any of those people to be Prime Minister, but ig Sunak is the least bad of the options. Just a shame we have to have a Tory PM.
Here's hoping for a general election
I’m actually genuinely very relieved that the first two candidates were a bit progressive
Dang Brits!!! When it comes to candidates, you guys are as a bad position as the USA! NONE of this candidates inspire any trust!
What do you think of germanys canidates?
Knowing that experience is not synonym of competence and that promises are never to be kept... Good luck guys!
Why didn't they mention the funny videos on Liz Truss?
2:38
I think the big thing was the fact he laughed at the idea of being friends with poor people.
Like sunak firstly it's hard to believe you have friends
Secondly going haha poor people I would never talk to them is a bbbaaaddd look
Polls indicate Sunak and Ms. Mordaunt shall be likely to move on to final round of voting.
Obsessed with the way you say "secretary"
Labour voters here, who do you think would be the best conservative to become PM and lead the country in your opinion?
I like the no name females because it seems that they're more conservative in their views but unfortunately with last name recognition they won't win
Really great video! But please give your editing an extra check, a few bad cuts crept in here.
I'm deeply concerned about Truss she's itching to go to war against Putin and she'll be the cause of the nukes launching, she models herself on Thatcher instead of trying to be her own person
Very useful crib-sheet. Thanks.
Zahawi pledged to publish his FUTURE tax returns, if he became PM. Important distinction; he wants to keep his past secrets hidden
I want someone who can increase growth by opening new pork markets
What a wretched choice.
There's not one of them fit for the job. Where are the political heavyweights of yesteryear?
@Snorbo We could blow them up. That's a choice! Guy Fawkes might just have had the right idea.
Whichever runs the conservative party into the ground.Might be a hard two years for the country but it might be the best in the long run.
That's a dangerous game though
A careful weighing up between being unlikable enough to not win the next general election but also not fucking everyone over too much over the next 2 years.
There's an easy solution to all of this: String them all up and vote Larry in.
Fr lmao at this point a cat can govern better than corrupt humans...
It feels like picking through a dustbin
TLDR I love your content but please please please sort out your quality control. Every single video there’s some glaring minor issue(s) that could so easily be corrected. Often it’s repeated words/phrases, typos or similar.

Good luck with the coverage of the leadership!
"Secretary" pronunciation made me wince every time.
Can someone explain to me what “against woke“ means politically? Woke doesn't exist in my country so I don't get what kind of platform it is.
Woke tends just to be 'anything I, and my potential voters, don't like.'
At this point I just miss Theresa May
Have some standards
So... we're fucked.
Tom is the best option
Given the opposition, he seems quite a good option.
shall we rather say the least bad .... the others come over as truly horrendous they make Genghis Khan look like the au pair girl.
@@GEMINICT can you really trust a politician who seems a good choice, let s be realistic.
@@varcoliciulalex trust? A politician these days? Are you joking? Any politician involved in Psrtygate should be banned from any political power.
So in short, we’re still fucked.
I am for penny, she looks like the best of the bunch
I'm currently Labour however I'm fed up with Keir Starmer I want Penny Mordaunts win and stand for election !
She approved a Brexit warehouse and it won't be use until late 2023, the city of portsmouth will have to pay 17m for an empty warehouse but yeah she's great
Definitely looks the best 🥴
agreed she's the only morally right choice
I don't like sunak but atleast hes not talking about lowering taxes so I'm hoping he will win
Showing my age here , but the thing I remember most about Tom Tugedhat is his father Christopher who I think was once an EC Comissioner for the UK?
As a Yank, it's really odd hearing a conservative claiming that they support LGBTQ issues. A big portion of our conservative electorates think we're all groomers!
You can thank the teachers (among other people) on Tik Tok for that reputation. Some of the things they say, makes it really difficult to defend against such allegations.
The music video from some LGBTQ+ people singing "we are coming for your kids", is not exactly something a conservative wants to hear.
And it can be really difficult (for either side to be fair) to determine which elements of the opposition are extremists who are not representative and whom aren't.
Because leftists democrats are groomers! It has been scientifically proven!
In the US it’s all about polarisation and division more than beliefs and policies.
Get Kemi in !!
I'm crossing my fingers for Kemi
She has a better chance of winning the lottery
Did Larry not want the candidacy? Least controversial candidate.
Jeremy Hunt - People are struggling to meet the cost of living, and he wants to cut Corporation tax. Seems like a Tory thing to do.
Hmm, yes. The Tory here is made out of Tory.
Which is very unfortunate for of us that have to put up with that
HEY HEY HEY!!!! Just because I live in a cave doesn't mean I am not informed 😁
Using the term "Libertarian" in the context of the US definition of the word is worrying. In Europe the term Libertarianism is almost uniformly described with Libertarian Socialism or Anarchism such as described as an example by George Orwell.
Yes. Europe loves Big Gov.
@@vipeton.8927 Lmao US Gov't is bigger than Europe. So big that they can jackboot the middle east to its will.
The American meaning of the word has become more popular in Europe. Also why is it worrying?

Kemi Badenoch would be interesting.
So from what I'm getting from this video is that the best outcome would be Tom or Penny, with Rishi being the next best (of a bad situation).
It depends on you priorities. IMO tughendat would be best for international relations as he was a remainer then pro withdrawal agreement and has French citizenship he is less likely to keep breaking international agreements. Mordaunt seems to be best on some social issues as she doesn’t actively hate trans people as the sun and daily mail like to point out. Rishi is the best choice economically (throwing up in my mouth saying that) as he is the only person not promising tax cuts from the magical money tree.
@@Jay_Johnson interesting, I didn't know he had french citizenship!
@@flappetyflippers his wife is a French judge so I think breaking international rules might cause some domestic problems.
